Elvis Costello - Darling,You Know I Wouldn't Lie lyrics

Here I am late again for the last time

And like I promised, I just told her goodbye

Please believe me 'cause this time, it's really over

And darling, you know I wouldn't lie

Didn't I come and tell you about her

How temptation lured she and I

Now I know it was only fascination

And darling, you know I wouldn't lie

I had to let her down easy as slow as I could

After all, she's got feelings too

But it took a little longer than I thought it would

But this time, she knows we're really through

She wanted to hold me forever

And this lipstick shows her final try

And these tears on my shoulder are proof that she failed

And darling, you know I wouldn't lie
